Well, the Yankees are done and like the last several years, we look back and try to find answers. The players were there, they just didn’t get it done. I’m usually on George’s side but blaming Torre is a little comical. This is the kind of team that should coach itself and the fact that he brought the Yanks back from the grave should warrant something but I think Steinbrenner wants a fresh start. He’s been right before, I just hate to see Torre go because he’s been so good for so long.
Brian Cashman also has to share some of the blame although the big offseason move this year, Andy Pettitte, turned out to be a good one. The Roger Clemens one was a deal that had to be done even though it looks foolish now. There’s no way we could have let the Red Sox get their hands on Clemens and the only way to guarantee that was to sign him ourselves.
I don’t even know if I’ll watch any of the remaining series. I’d like to see the Red Sox get squashed but it’s hard to root for the Indians when they knocked your team out. As far as the Diamondbacks and Rockies, who cares. Sigh, Fox has to be scrambling because just about any matchup that doesn’t involve the Red Sox will be a ratings disaster.
